When watching Korean dramas, you've probably seen plenty of scenes where the Korean actors and actresses go to a sauna during moments of sadness, when kicked out of their homes, or when they're feeling lost and depressed, not knowing where to go.
The eggs at the sauna are different from ordinary boiled eggs — they have a light brownish color and are extremely delicious. Nowadays, you can easily buy these smoked eggs at many shops.
But if you, the reader, already have eggs ready in your kitchen and don't feel like going through the trouble of heading outside, you can easily make these delicious smoked eggs at home yourself.
Ingredients
- About 6 eggs
- About 117 ml water
- About half a teaspoon of sea salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
The eggs you're going to boil should be left at room temperature for at least 2 hours. If you don't leave them at room temperature, the eggshells will crack badly while boiling. If you want the smoked eggs to taste even better, soak them in warm water for about 2 hours before boiling.
Once the 2 hours are up, take out the eggs and put them into a rice cooker, then add water. Next, add the salt and boil for about 50 minutes. When the 50 minutes are up, you'll have smoked eggs just like the ones from the sauna scenes in Korean dramas.
These Korean-style smoked eggs are great to eat as a snack when you're hungry, whether as a light bite or a proper treat. They're both nutritious and filling — the perfect snack.
